means comprises a plurality of vacuum cups 16 upon the under face of the base 6. By moistening these vacuum cups 16 and then pressing the base 6 downwards upon the supporting structure so that the vacuum cups 16 are flattened to eject the air from between them and their supporting structure, the base 6 will be securely attached to the supporting structure to permit any desired operation to be performed in the receptacle 11.

Thus it may be seen that a receptacle holder is provided which is especially convenient as a kitchen utensil, in thatit may be utilized to hold a mixing bowl stationarywhile mixing batter, mayonnaise or other substances therein, leaving both hands ofthe operator free to carry out the various details of the mixing operation.

However, I do not wish to be limited to this precise use, in that the holding device may be employed wherever it is desired to hold the v receptacle stationary.

I claim: a 1. A holder for receptacles, comprising a base having a plurality of radiating groups of holes of equal size therein, holes or each group being staggered and closely spaced to reduce the difference in the radial distances of ad acent holes from a common center, pegs receivable within selected holes to determine JAMES D.
